Photos of Brasserie Harricana Montreal
Brasserie Harricana is a brewpub offering many craft beer options & gourmet comfort eats in a contemporary space. It is a local brewery and restaurant between Little Italy and Mile Ex. The beer selection changes weekly and includes a wide variety of beer styles. Brasserie Harricana has been operating since 2015 and has made a name for itself. The reason is simple: Brasserie Harricana, located on the border of Little Italy and Mile-Ex, offers something for everyone. Harricana is the name of a river in Canada that is one of the longest. The first Brasserie Harricana opened in Amos, Abitibi, in 1975. Set in Mile Ex, the gentrifying neighborhood north of Mile End, this brewpub has some of the best local beers. Brasserie Harricana is a large corner brewpub with many natural lights and an uplifting design.
A cream tile floor, wood accents, peach leather seating, and ceiling paneling all contribute to the feeling of calm and fresh air. Is there anyone else here? Regulars from Villeray, Parc Ex, Mile End, and other nearby neighborhoods. What’s your plan as you approach the bar? Skip the cocktails and wines in favor of beer. Seasonal home brews range from sour passion fruit ales to hearty, creamy Irish-style stouts, English-style IPAs, and white sake-fermented rice blondes. There is also a long list of imported bottles, but they are much more expensive. Get the whole experience by purchasing a $20 flight with four 5-ounce glasses of your choice. Beer goes well with bar snacks. Do they have us covered?
From quick snacks (deviled eggs, blue-cheese stuffed celery stalks, duck confit croquettes, salt-and-pepper fried tofu cubes) to fuller entrees, the menu features Canadian and Quebec classics (the famous Caesar salad for two, as well as beef tartare and chips, a monkfish burger, beer-braised ham). If you’re in doubt, go for the sharing platter, which includes a meat pie, ragout, baked beans, coleslaw, and fries. Can the bartenders assist you in navigating the menu? The young, dynamic staff, dressed in crisp white shirts, is fully present and ready to jump to it whenever you need a top-up. They will also provide information on the most recent brews. We believe we understand, but if you can summarize—why should you come here? The bar is ideal for twosomes or solo diners looking for a comfortable, civilized setting to try out new beers.
